Chinese Elm Bonsai TreeUlmus parvifolia. Chinese elm are probably the best and most robust species used for Bonsai. The small oval serrated edge leaves are perfectly in proportion and the tree makes wonderful tight and fine twigging within just a few growing seasons. Very vigorous and hardy outdoors in most areas. We recommend keeping Chinese Elm Bonsai outside where temperatures do not drop lower than -6 Celsius. If kept outside the tree will lose most of it's leaves in winter thus displaying it's lovely fine ramification. Trees kept outside also develop incredible flaking bark after a few years. Prefer to be cool over the winter if kept indoors.

Keep in full sun to partial shade all year round. Water and feed very well. Re-pot every year if you want to maintain vigorous growth. Once fully mature re-pot every second year.

A superb craggy old elm with beautiful mature branch structure. A few hours work would see this tree easily reshaped and dramatically improved. Chinese elm of this quality are becoming increasingly hard to find as nurseries are under pressure to produce ever cheaper plants, we go to GREAT lengths to source these impressive bonsai trees. It's taken years on end to produce this tree, the quality and age shows too. About the best value available in bonsai today pound for pound.
